Synopsis

An American woman trained in dark mystic arts by the Yezidee cult in Asia, escapes only to be hunted in New York by its malevolent leader, Prince Sanang—“The Slayer of Souls.” With global domination in his sights, Sanang deploys occult forces to eliminate Tressa, the one person who can thwart his plan. Aided by Secret Service agent Victor Cleves, Tressa wages a psychic and magical battle against her former captors in a high-stakes clash of good versus evil, weaving espionage, supernatural intrigue, and cosmic peril into a sensational tale of resistance and redemption.
